I got my hardtop painted for $350. It has many chips in it already (about 14 months later). Since it was red, and is now black, they are very visible. A good paint job is going to cost you a lot. You would not believe how time consuming it is to remove all the trim, and put it back on. I did it myself, and it took forever, and was a PITA. I'd be hard pressed to do it again, but then again, I don't know how many shops I'd trust to do it right.
